Does anyone know when the first episode with the new head writers will air?

Also, did not realize Ashley and the fireman broke up. This date with her and Andre is rather boring. Is Derek still even on the show, anyways? Ooooh I see a triangle brewing here between Kat and Eva or this Tomas guy. I definitely see potential here with continuing to build that rivalry between them. Still. I wish everything wasn’t millennial grey. Sigh. So many of the sets look too similar. Some color would be nice!

Who are these June and Regina characters? I know they’re new cause they weren’t on when I started watching earlier this year. I’m intrigued. Love love love that they’ve decided to expand the cast and showcase different storylines. This is going to keep me watching

I agree and I definitely preferred John Driscoll as well. I just think it’s such a bad move to kill off an important character like Chance. I don’t particularly love or enjoy MO as Abby but I’d be just as p*ssed if they killed her off given how much potential that character could still have.

Y&R: July 2025 Spoilers
It’s pretty dumb that it’s being written that Phyllis is still this huge obstacle for Nick & Sharon all these years later. Faith, Noah and even Summer being obstacles for them? Sure. That would make more sense. Look at all the drama Nick, Adam, Victoria & Abby brought for the Nikki and Victor relationship over the years. I don’t get why the show isn’t tapping into that.

Y&R: July 2025 Spoilers
Killing Chance is just stupid. Just because JG doesn’t know how to write for the character doesn’t mean he should have been killed off. What is even the point? Killing Damien was just as dumb although I really had no connection to his character as he just came on in February so that bothers me less, but still.

Decided to tune back in but I did a time jump instead of starting off where I left off (around April). Starting at the July 15th episode. Right off the bat I am wondering why Martin and Smittys children look so old.

Passions Discussion Thread
Also speaking of Theresa, has there ever been a bigger thirst bucket in soap opera history? There was a scene around 2002 where she was literally clinging onto Ethan’s leg while begging and crying for him not to leave her. That must have been humiliating for Lindsay Hartley to play day in, and day out..

Justin Hartley was always a favourite of mine as Fox. He had chemistry with everyone in the show. Aside from his obvious chemistry with Lindsay Hartley, I also loved the scenes with Ben Masters. The father/son dynamic between Julian and Fox was great to watch because they’re both such good actors that you could almost ignore the ridiculous writing for awhile. It’s too bad JH didnt last long in the show but he went to do bigger and better things so I can’t blame him. .. and speaking of course corrections in the show, I think Theresa and Fox should have been one. They had insane chemistry and we know obviously they ended up being a couple in real life so maybe that had something to do with it, but they really should have pushed Fox & Theresa more instead of making the triangle all about Gwen and Theresa fighting over Ethan. There was really no need to bring in Jared later in the show when Fox and Theresa already had such a strong fan base. Instead they ended up putting Fox with Kay which was a total bore.

Would there be any way for me to access my old account? (Ryanc). I created this new one but I’d love to use my original account except now I need an email to log in and I don’t think I used an email at that time, only a username.

Today’s CDN episode with Nick and Sharon is a tear jerker. As sh*tty as this whole storyline is once again JM & SC are bringing it! Their chemistry is undeniable

So Ron Carlivati is pitching a new soap opera? Consider me out of the loop because I don’t know much about his work but I’d love to know more about this!

Is there really any truth to the rumours of him coming to Y&R? I’m not familiar with his work. I was never an ABC soap watcher. I’ll take anything other than JG though at this point..

ALL: Speculation on the Future of Successful Daytime Soap Operas
I actually like that idea of a recap episode weekly. CBS needs to reach out to Ali on YRChat from YouTube. She’s always enthusiastic about the show even when the show sucks a**. She’s just the type of person who would hype up the show for them week after week 😂 She has been recapping Y&R every WEEK since 2008.

Y&R: July 2025 Discussion Thread
Was totally getting Passions vibes with this S/L like the “who killed Alistair Crane” storyline. At least in that storyline all the characters had motive. He was the most hated character on the show by all the characters. Who tf would wanna kill Damien? It makes zero sense.

Whitney & Chad hooking up as brother and sister is another one. We could go on and on about Passions storylines being inappropriate though… 🤭

ALL: Inappropriate storylines on soap operas
Sharon and Victor 🤢 Speaking of Passions, another one could be Theresa stealing Gwen’s embryos and then drugging Ethan & sleeping with him while wearing a blonde wig to get herself pregnant again after she believed to have lost Gwen’s baby.

Michael & Lauren were in today’s CDN episode, but yeah it’s pretty hilarious that we’re supposed to believe they’ve been there this whole time when they’ve barely been on.

So Nick & Sharon are being held captive in some dirty old room. Oh goodie, it’s not like we’ve seen this before!

I hated Gwen too for obvious reasons (even though I did have moments of empathizing with her during Sarah’s death. Liza Huber really shined in those scenes with her grieving Sarah.) Another character I hated (found to be really boring) was Grace but I was surprised at how much I actually kind of missed her once she was gone. Looking back, she was a pretty important character for the show and I felt like her exit was kind of symbolic at the time for when the show started going downhill. The Bennett family ended up becoming really fractured by the end of the show. Charity should have stayed too, they invested so much in her being a heroine in the show & I know she had her fans back then.
